I'm finally reviewing the Nespresso Breville Creatista Plus! I've had the creatista for about four months now and I feel like I have all my thoughts together enough to review it. The Creatista Plus is not a cheap machine, is it really worth $650?!

Hi my name is Alex Mojica!
I am a 34 year old stay at home mom who loves all things cozy and coffee. I'm a first time mom to my son Lukas. We also just purchased a new construction home and are so close to closing on our dream home. Here on my channel you will find cozy videos about coffee, DITL, clean with me, shop with me,coffee reviews,home decor,baby stuff and much much more but make it cozy. I hope you can stick around while I document my life's journey as a stay at home mom. 💕

Just discovered your channel as I’m purchasing my Nespresso machine soon, and you explained everything so well, I cannot wait to get mines. Thank you for this awesome review. Will be watching more of your vids for coffee inspo!💕💕

Nice vid. Just bought one for my office.

[@MyChaiLai]

Thanks for this video. I recently got a Creatista Plus and am loving it. I didn't realize that if I wanted to do a double shot, I could just turn the switch in the 'recipe' back to the add coffee setting (rather than going to the plain espresso setting). Great Information!

[@_Alexmojica]

That’s awesome I’m glad it helped you out!

[@shirlkatherine]

I’ve had my creatista for over a year now and I still love it! I’m definitely a latte girl though. Someday I want to get a fancy Jura, but with 2 kids (ages 2.5 and 1) I love the ease of this machine. Would love to see more videos on it! I didn’t know there was something you had to do daily to clean the steam wand. My husband bought it as a push gift before I had my son and set it up for me (aka he probably tossed the manuals and didn’t read the directions😅)

[@_Alexmojica]

It’s definitely nice and convenient! If you’re curious you can always google a pdf of the manual!

[@Imsooverit]

I know I’m late to this but I just saw one of those Juras at home goods on clearance for like 200

[@veronicafranklin875]

Thank you from a coffee lover that is just learning about espressos!

[@_Alexmojica]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@iamgriselda]

I think this video only encouraged me to buy a creatista! I’ve been thinking about buying a OL machine. And they are around $200 almost everywhere, this made me rethink which machine I want to get! Thanks for sharing Alex! ❤️

Wow, I’ve never even looked at this machine because it seemed overwhelming. But you made it look easy! I’ve been looking at the citiz platinum and a recipe maker.

[@judithberger4888]

Hi Alex! Love all of your content. Did you know that there is a handy steam wand cleaning tool stored underneath the water tank of the Creatista Plus? I missed that feature in the Owner’s Manual, but found out about in another KZbin video. Very cool.

[@_Alexmojica]

Yes! I didn’t mention it because I figured once you need to clean it the machine tells you where it’s at but it’s such a handy little tool!

[@judithberger4888]

@@_Alexmojica So happy you knew about the tool. I’m a brand new Creatista Plus owner/user. Your videos are both invaluable and inspirational. I love your esthetic and look forward to all of your posts and videos on the daily. Hugs to Lucas. ♥️

I bought the cretatista pro over a month ago I love mine I love how it brews coffee than auto does the froth and also how I can set my temperature I’m in US and mine works perfect thanks for ur review every time I watch creatista videos I learn more

great video!

[@BookFanBudgets]

Thank you so much for this review. I wanted this machine because it's SO PRETTY. (I loooooove the white color.) But 99.9 percent of what we drink is cold coffees, so I really appreciated your info. If there's no benefit for us iced coffee drinkers, then I just saved $649. Ha!

[@sincerelytatum5376]

Hi Alex! Loved this review! I bought my Creatista back in 2018 and got in on sale from Nespresso for $400 (still a lot of money). I loved it, until I bought my Nespresso Vertuo Plus this Christmas (i have the same one as yours). I still use my creatista because I can’t somehow part ways with it.. BUT if I’ve bought the VertuoPlus first I don’t think I would’ve bought the Creatista.

[@_Alexmojica]

Its nice to have options. I love having both machines!

[@Matt-wg9xn]

What about the milk steaming function, don't miss that? I promised fiance an espresso machine for Christmas and am now 4 months late trying to figure out how to do Nespresso pods and also a steaming wand without $700+ >_

[@_Alexmojica]

Thanks!

[@mandyl7777]

I have the Pro and for the most part I am satisfied with it. I am a push a button and be done kind of person. I would love to have manual coffee options but for whatever reason I just can’t do them correctly. I am sure it is user error. I was the same with getting past the no cold foam option. I do use my Pro for a lot of iced options. I usually just use my hand held for cold foam.

[@_Alexmojica]

Manual espresso extraction is for sure more tricky, glad to hear you enjoy your pro

[@lisanewman7641]

Love the video! Is is possible to adjust the temperature of the water for the coffee brew?

[@_Alexmojica]

No it’s not, just the milk tempt unfortunately

[@diamondknight4815]

I made the mistake of getting a limited edition gloss black veurto next... only lasted a year. I'm looking to get the breville bambino plus or this. I'm all about coffee quality over variety. So I'm leaning towards the bambino plus

How are you planning on grinding your beans? I own it and LOVE it. It just made a year and I can’t stop praising it. But I just caved and bought the matching Breville grinder pro…I was using an inexpensive blade one and it doesn’t cut it. So now will use the real deal. Can’t wait, mine comes Friday. Hope you love your Bambino Plus as much as I do!

[@awaissheikh7990]

Great informative video . I have been using citiz and aerrocino 4 since a year and having no problem at all, but i am just loving creatista pro , i live in uk so do you think getting pro would be a good choice over plus as i have have heard that milk texture and temprature is better on plus than bro but pro has some extra features plus big touch screen, help me decide pls 🙈

[@_Alexmojica]

I’ve never looked into the pro unfortunately I’m no help there

[@robertsaddler8202]

I would’ve bought this if I knew it was so much upkeep. I use nursery water and it still gives me issues. My husband bought mine for Christmas and I really don’t like it but he loves the lattes I make for him so I kept it. I’ve been using the Amazon brand espresso capsules and it makes way more crema. I still prefer the pour coffee I do. I do wish I would’ve bought a manual espresso machine instead. This is good for convenience but not for the price!

[@_Alexmojica]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@guerlainm.7050]

Hello Alex Cool videos. I have a question about the Sage Creatista Plus. Right now I'm using a De'Longhi Citiz & Milk. It makes really good foam. But would like to buy a Creatista Plus. With the Creatista Plus it has yes a steam nozzle. I could not test the machine anywhere, unfortunately. Could you maybe make a video where you can see the differences of the 8 milk foam textures? That would help incredibly with the purchase decision. Looking forward to your feedback. best regards 🙂😅

[@_Alexmojica]

The foam you get from creatista is not the same foam from the aeroccino. I would still keep my aeroccino, also the creatista doesn’t cold froth like the aeroccino. Hope that helps!

[@quiettornado1970]

you can froth it cold if you do it by hand, I do mine by hand sometimes.

[@_Alexmojica]

My separate frother does cold frothing ☺️

[@carmenduncan6406]

I bought this machine about three weeks ago. I find that the coffee is weak. I also find that the milk temperature is not as hot as when I first got the machine. By the way, Nespresso replaced the first machine and I'm still having the same issues. I had the Citiz and thought it made much better, stronger coffee. What are your thoughts.

[@_Alexmojica]

I’ve never had issues of that nature with it

[@taylorprice8330]

Have you thought about getting the Nespresso Barista? Considering it since you can do recipes with out dropping the $600 for the Creatista even thought it’s not a true milk steam.

[@_Alexmojica]

I’ve never liked that machine I feel like it’s pointless but maybe I just don’t know enough about it lol but I’m quite happy with the creatista

[@elsiemurphy7602]

Hi Alex where were you able to find the milk frothed in white???

[@_Alexmojica]

I spray painted mine 😁

[@suraadnan4986]

When are you planing to buy the Brevelle Bambino? 🙂

[@_Alexmojica]

As soon as I see it in stock, been out of stock for a while

[@janey2806]

I am planning to get Creatista Plus or Pro, do I also need to get separate Aerocinno 4?

[@_Alexmojica]

I like having my aeroccino 3 or any other frother that froths cold because the creatista won’t do cold frothing

[@karenluciani5093]

What about americano’s. Will this do that? Do the larger capsules fit?

[@_Alexmojica]

You will have to add your own water to the espresso, so technically no it doesn’t have an americano setting. The bigger capsules are for vertuo line only so no they won’t fit

[@aggathaasa9740]

hi, can you just use the milk frother for this one? if you dont want the coffee

[@_Alexmojica]

You can use both settings separately

[@mylinhloves119]

great review, do you still recommend it still?

[@_Alexmojica]

If you like espresso based drinks I’d say it’s the best option

[@jibronCee]

How do you know how much milk to add for each drink? Are their recipes?

[@_Alexmojica]

They are my recipes based on personal preferences. There are no rules so eyeball it and see what you like, usually half cup of milk is what I lean towards most drinks

[@yatsumoto]

is this a matte white rather than shiny?

[@_Alexmojica]

It’s a matter of white but has a pearly finish look to it

[@Satine_Moisant]

What is "pH delight"? Do you mean "Peach?" (peech)...or is it some kind of pH adjustment to the coffee?

[@_Alexmojica]

It’s a syrup called Ph delight

[@robsan9017]

You were mistaken with the crema. The original line espresso machines have always had the thin crema (the way an espresso is suppose to be) this is why I prefer the original line over the Vertuo machines because they make espresso' closer to the manual ground machines. The thick crema is a marketing thing in the Vertuo line, it is caused by a centrifuge process (spinning of the large capsule at high speed) while brewing creating that fake thick crema that seems to be all the rage.

[@_Alexmojica]

I’ll have to disagree, I wasn’t expecting a thick fake Crema like vertuo. I was expecting crema like my mini essenza did. And thick Crema is possible because I have an espresso machine at home with a porta filter and all that and it produces excellent Crema not thin at all. But I know what you mean in regards to vertuo Crema

[@robsan9017]

@@_Alexmojica That's good to hear. Yeah the Vertuo line is not good at all IMO. I can't get past that artificial thick foamy crema it produces

[@cassondrajacobs9873]

[@hondapilot]

It seems the coffee is watered down and weak. Is that just my experience (machine) or perhaps a common problem ?

I never thought it was, it depends on capsules too but I always liked 6-9 intensity ones
